Running in VMWare - allows ANY resolution, multi-bot, all while your PC is free.

[awp2004]

Do I really have to pay for the workstation??

[baldbrah]

if u gotta ask, then yea.

[liquidsystem]

@OP, can you possibly tell me why I can get Diablo 3 working, but when I use Andy's bot it just doesn't work? I use it on my main, and it just derps on the VMware.

[d3bacon]

Is there any way I can bot on my main computer while browsing on the workstation? I tried this but moving my mouse messed up the bot's actions. Please let me know what I am doing wrong, thanks

[AlvanKhong]

Sorry to ask, but it seems that i have a slight problem opening my D3 in VMWare Workstation 8 the application was running * Task manager* but it didn't show up properly
then i check the D3Debug log are showing:

Is there any way I can bot on my main computer while browsing on the workstation? I tried this but moving my mouse messed up the bot's actions. Please let me know what I am doing wrong, thanks

Cant tell if troll...

But no, unless you are using something other than autoit to bot on the host computer, you wont be able to do this.

Unfortunately it wasn't.. I apologize for my ignorance on this subject. Thank you for your help.

What maximum FPS do you guys find to be optimal? I've been using approximately 23 FPS as FPS max with decent success. I fear that if I put it too low, the scripts might not work well.

[heatl0rd]

Just realised you could do this. A few questions.

Should i be treating this VM as a completel fresh install of windows? Wont i need GPU drivers ect? what about windows updates? or is everyone simply copying over the d3 folder and running it?

[liquidsystem]

What maximum FPS do you guys find to be optimal? I've been using approximately 23 FPS as FPS max with decent success. I fear that if I put it too low, the scripts might not work well.

About 60-ish, That's what's really optimal for almost any game.

Just realised you could do this. A few questions.

No, it uses it's own drivers, that adapt to your graphics card. It's pretty amazing. It is a new install of Windows, but it's a lot more compressed :P I use Windows XP SP3 and it works like a charm, 2 days running my friend, Andygongyb's bot.

[Chaosstorm123]

This works great on my laptop.

I can have 1 VM running 1920x1080 diablo and that uses only 30% gpu so I can even play diablo or starcraft 2 on my host without stutter ! (never knew a VM could handle 3d graphics this good).

[lucbakker123]

W7 running flawless on VMware, but something weird happens when i start d3 launcher. I press run diablo i see the little diablo face popup and then i don't get the game client, though i can see the process running in Task Manager. Any help

Had this happen to me before although I am using xp. Try adding -launch to your diablo 3 shortcut. If that doesn't work try shutting down (Shut down not suspend) your OS inside the VM and then restarting your computer.

[Tommeey]

I get an error while doing this with Win XP PRO SP3, do I need to install all updates from Windows Update before I can run Diablo 3 or what is the problem? I looked it up on google and I can't find a solution. The solution they stated didnt work for me and it was right from the beginning.

please reply. Thanks

I've been using this in combination with chancity's script, something has been bugging me though and haven't been able to figure it out.

It runs very well, as fast as outside the vm, except when it starts looting. For some reason it starts lagging in the looting stage, first I thought it might be cause of the imagesearches but those are also used to check for the area's. Anyone got any clue what might be causing this?
